Amwins Global Risks restructures underwriting operations

Amwins Global Risks has announced a new underwriting structure, introducing three distinct underwriting entities under Amwins International Underwriting, led by Simon Jackson:

• Unicorn Underwriting – A UK-based MGA specializing in fleet and commercial risk.
• Contour Underwriting – A specialty lines MGA, launching with Marine Cargo coverage, with additional lines, including Worldwide Property, set to follow in 2025.
• Amwins Amplify – A brand offering exclusive products tailored for AGR brokers.

“We are excited to unveil this new structure, which will further strengthen our underwriting capabilities and provide a solid foundation for our underwriters to focus and thrive. In order to set the company up for growth, it was important to organise ourselves into broad underwriting disciplines and arranging our teams with a UK focus (Unicorn), Specialty (Contour) and AGR exclusive (Amplify), which will enable us to work with clients and capacity providers in a consistent manner that aligns with their requirements. It means we come to the market with clear strategies and a focus for those unique disciplines.” – Nick Abraham, CEO of Amwins Global Risks.

The transition also includes the rebranding of Unicorn’s Worldwide Property team to Contour Underwriting in 2025 while maintaining its product offerings.
